Iran is demanding that oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz make toll payments in the form of cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin and stablecoins such as Tether’s USDT or the Trump family’s USD1. Vessels have been told to email Iranian authorities prior to passage through the area with details regarding their cargo, which authorities will then respond with a quote for passage through the toll to be paid in digital currency, reportedly set at $1 per barrel of oil, according to the Financial Times.

When I say I refuse to vote for GOP candidates in the midterms, the immediate retort from the party loyalists will be a scream: 'You’re handing power to the Democrats!' This is the quintessential hostage-taker's logic. My answer is simple: No. Donald Trump and the Republican Party have already handed power to the Democrats by betraying their voters. They shattered the coalition that gave them power. The proof is already visible in the political landscape. As noted in recent election analyses, Democrats are making shocking gains, even winning special elections in Trump districts, signaling a 'bloodbath' and a clear warning from disillusioned voters. My withheld vote is not an act of surrender; it is my final, definitive act of political accountability. It is a message seared into the tally sheets: betray the American people, and you will be politically held responsible. This principle is already playing out in primaries, where candidates seen as betraying the base are being rejected, as seen with the defeat of certain establishment figures. The only leverage we, the people, have is our consent. I will not give it to those who have proven themselves unworthy.
